The Decemberists have been one of my favorite bands for a long time. They hit a serious road block with me when they released The Hazards Of Love. That was by far their worst album. This was their attempt at a sort of rock-opera, theme style, album. It didn't work. They are getting ready to release The King Is Dead, which I'm hoping goes back to their good-old ways or at least in a new direction. From what I have heard so far, it seems like that is the case. Thank God! Here is the first song they are sharing with the public, "Down By The Water," and a few videos of Colin Meloy playing some of the new songs and a classic, "Crane Wife 3."
